As I’m sure many of you have already heard, the big news for today is that Da Capo II is getting an anime. In an interview published in the June edition of Comptiq (the same magazine that Lucky Star is serialized in and pimps every week), producer tororo stated among other things that he wanted the anime to be as long as possible. There’s no set air-date yet, and I haven’t paid much attention to the game since it came out about a year ago, but I’m interested in seeing how this turns out.
In other upcoming anime news, Kamen no Maid Guy is also getting an anime, but I suspect that most people aren’t familiar with this series. I was first introduced to the manga almost two years ago when Dom wrote about it over at MegaTokyo. To use his description, it’s “the heartwarming story of a maid-loving rich old man, his almost-of-age granddaughter Naeka, and the musclebound, shark-toothed, mask-wearing freak of a maid he assigns to protect her until her 18th birthday.” It’s very fun to read, and I hope it translates well into anime form.
For those of you who are watching sola, it was announced on the official production blog that the show is going to be 15 episodes total, two of which will be DVD-exclusive. The one that is to be included with DVD 4 (on sale September 25th) is going to be “packed with the charms of the characters of sola,” but they are keeping secret about the one to be included with the final DVD 5 (on sale October 26th).
In seiyuu news, it seems that popular voice actress Horie Yui will be appearing on HEY!HEY!HEY! MUSIC CHAMP soon. Her appearance is being filmed this Thursday, so it might air next Monday. I mention this mainly because many of you may remember how Hirano Aya generated a lot of buzz last year from appearing on the same show.

YESSS!!!! I was waiting for this to happen SO MUCH! I always said “I hope they do a Da Capo II anime soon enough” and what do you know? DCII. YES I JUST can’t wait for this!

da capo was so terrible i dont get how they decided to make da capo 2. Da capo season 2 was so terrible i just wanted to tear my eyes out.
hopefully, da capo 2 wont be that crappy.

Haven’t played that game, I heard its “many” years after the first Da Capo.

Da Capo II should be very interesting.

I dislike Megatokyo and Dom. Although I admit some of the manga choices he finds are good if not obscure.

So Horie Yui made on HEY!HEY!HEY! now? I’ll have to check it out next week to see what happens. I can only imagine what kind of things can happen when she’s there.

I enjoyed the original Da Capo.. found the second season to be meh. maybe Da Capo II will be interesting again.
kiryuu at 9:17 pm on May 8th, 2007

GStrike- at 9:51 pm on May 8th, 2007
isn’t there a DC 2 series already? or is it DC 1 but season 2?
Shin at 9:51 pm on May 8th, 2007
Da Capo first season was alright, but the second season was a disaster for me. I hope Da Capo II is good, and I have high hopes for it.

Being a huge fan of the Da Capo franchise, i can’t wait for this to happen. Also, it brings a smile to my face knowing it was going to happen ever since the game was announced time ago. :3

Bah, no news on Code Geass ;(
Anza at 10:16 pm on May 8th, 2007
*feels like stabbing many things* Da Capo 2 ANIME!? The second season was a cruel joke to anyone who like Kotori and the whole series was freaking LAUGHABLE unless you loved Nemu (WHO ANNOYED THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME) UGH Why must I be reminded of that horrible tragic storyline, poor Kotori ;_;

Da Capo 2 hm.. it might be interesting.
Da capo 1 was decent
Da Capo 2 was a piece of crap it was going good till it fucks up by bringing that sister back.

Argh on the DVD exclusives. What the hell? >_

Da Capo II takes place 50 years after the events of Da Capo I believe. I think whatever descendants there are of the Da Capo characters are the grandchildren.
MooMooCow at 12:39 am on May 9th, 2007
Da Capo was pretty good. I can’t say the same about the second season though. The flat faces and the focus on a completely new main character really killed the series for me.
I wonder who’s going to Yoshiyuki.

ya, i believe it 53 yrs later after Da Capo.
